The Ethics Committee shall consist of one Active Member of the Association representing each sport.
The representatives shall be selected by the president from a list submitted by the All Sports Board, and shall serve staggered three year terms. Members of the Board of Control, Individual Sports Boards, Evaluation Committees, and Assignors, shall not be eligible to serve. It shall annually elect its own Chair from its members, who shall be responsible for calling meetings, and preparing the agenda, and who may not vote except as needed to break ties.
The Ethics Committee serves as the Board of Appeal for all decisions of Individual Sports Boards, Assignors, and Evaluation Committees, and has other duties as described in the By-laws.

The All Sports Board shall be comprised of the members of each Individual Sports Board. Each sport shall have one vote on matters brought before the board, regardless of the number of members of its Individual Sports Board in attendance. The All Sports Board shall be responsible for the preparation of the proposed schedule of fines, and lists of prohibited activities to be submitted to the membership. The All Sports Board shall confirm that the proposed Officials Manual for each sport is in compliance with the requirements of the By-laws, prior to submission to the members of that sport for approval.
The All Sports Board advises the Board of Control at its request, including personnel and disciplinary matters, and has additional duties as detailed in these By-laws.

The membership of each sport shall elect its own governing Board, consisting of three representatives for every sport with 150 members or fewer, or five representatives, for each sport with more than 150 members. Board members shall serve staggered three year terms. Individual Sports Board shall select one of their members each year as the Chair, who shall be the sole person authorized to represent the Board in communication to the members of the sport, and who shall vote only in the case of ties.

a. Maintain an Officials Manual for its sport, detailing all relevant policies and procedures including those covering local rule variations, assigning, discipline, and evaluation and rating of officials. The portions of this Manual related to discipline and evaluation shall be approved by both the All Sports Board, and a majority vote of the membership of the sport present at the final meeting of the sport prior to the first regular season contest to be officiated. A subsequent vote of the members shall only be necessary to change the manual, or when no vote has been taken for three seasons.
The Manual, and any proposed changes, will be made available to the members in a convenient manner at the first pre-season meeting of the sport, and will be posted on the Association web site once approved.

b. Annually prepare the list of officials eligible to officiate playoff assignments, and recommend such assignments to the Commissioner, with the advice of the Assignor. Where reasonable, the Board shall not nominate the same official to work state finals in two consecutive years, excepting auxiliary assignments such  as scoring and linesmen. The Individual Sports Board shall prepare annually a listing of all regional and state playoff games and the names of the officials who worked each game. It is recommended that this list be created in bracket format.
The list will be made available in an easily accessible manner to the members of that sport.

c. Annually recommend to the president either the retention or removal of the Assignor and Instructor for the sport. When either office is vacant, the Board shall notify the membership, and provide an opportunity for their application for the position. The Board shall interview all applicants, and recommend three qualified members to the president.
If fewer than three members apply, or the Board deems fewer than three to be qualified, fewer than three may be nominated by the Board.

d. Work to expand the opportunities of members to officiate outside of high school sports (recreation leagues, youth sports, collegiate, etc.), in coordination with the Board of Control.

e. When more than one person is responsible for instruction, require that a meeting of all officials participating in instruction be held prior to the first instructional meeting, and that a written plan of instruction be provided to each participating official.

f. Perform additional duties as described within the By-laws, or requested by the Board of Control or Ethics Committee.

g. Once developed and approved, the Board will cause evaluation and rating of officials to occur. Each SNOA official is entitled to one formal written evaluation each year in each sport worked. A copy of the written evaluation will be given to the official, and kept by the SNOA for at least two years. Each Board, with the consent of its membership, is empowered to create an Evaluation Committee to assist in this task.
